The program that was causing me problems is called threadmaster ver 1.12 it comes in a zipped format and it can be found under BOINC addons at the home page of Einstein. I know now to stay away from that addon!

Congrats. I've tried a few addons myself (no names I wil mention) and found most to be buggy. Some have eventually been made obsolete by their function being incorporated into the core client itself.
I use Threadmaster in my Windows 2000 machine, it works OK. But, in case you use it, you have to edit Threadmaster's preferences, in Windows' registry. This must be done with "regedit". Threadmaster's documentation file explains it.
By default, this program limits CPU usage of every application to a 20%. This value is intended for a machine serving several terminal connected users, to prevent a single user overloading the machine. Important system processes are already excluded from this limit in the registry, and you can also define other applications that must be excluded.
But if your machine is not serving diferent connected users, and you only want to reduce a little BOINC's CPU usage, you should change the default 20% limit for general user applications.
I have defined a 80% maximum CPU usage. This limit is quite useful for me. E@H is always running in my machine, while I am working with it. And E@H runs well at this constant 80% CPU usage.
The remaining 20% that Threadmaster lets free for my own work, prevents overheating and allows quite fast responses of my computer when I am loading programs, surfing the web, etc, so I'm not observing any practical penalty for running E@H.
But if you don't need to limit E@H CPU's usage, then you don't need to have Threadmaster installed at all.
